important to note that it's not just this one package, but many elpa
packages (but not all) which were either upgraded or purged as part of
the upgrade: I get the same set of warnings on two separate systems.
(I have elpa-csv-mode and no issue, but i don't know if i had it
installed in bullseye)
Warnings i have:
Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found
for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/helpful-0.18/helpful.elc
Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found
for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/elisp-refs-1.3/elisp-refs.elc
Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found
for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/dash-2.17.0/dash.elc
Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found
for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/loop-1.3/loop.elc
Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found
for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/dash-functional-1.2.0/
But i also have duplicate subdirectories in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa for dash,elisp-refs,git-commit,
helpful, magit and with-editor
Lots of broken symlinks, eg
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/transient-0.2.0.30 has
transient-autoloads.el ->
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src/transient-0.2.0.30//transient-autoloads.el
which doesnt exist
Lots of 'empty' (32-byte) Install.log.gz files such as
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/rainbow-delimiters-2.1.5/Install.log.gz
-- which unzul to an empty file
Current versions of packages
elpa-helpful:all/bookworm 0.19-2 uptodate
elpa-elisp-refs:all/bookworm 1.4-1 uptodate
elpa-dash:all/bookworm 2.19.1+git20220608.1.0ac1ecf+dfsg-1 uptodate
elpa-loop:all not installed # was installed as a recommends of
something in bullseye i assume
elpa-csv-mode:all/bookworm 1.22-1 uptodate # i dont know if i had this
via dependencies in bullseye

I have never installed anything emacs-related from anywhere other than stable.
All systems have only run stable, and have been upgraded from stable
to stable (from stretch i think).
While I havn't tried to make it reproducible, i did reproduce it in
the sense that two separate systems which had the same set of
emacs-related packages installed ended up with the same warnings. I
have the upgrade log for one - are there bits that are helpful to look
at - i didnt see anything complain, but the new emacs and new dh-elpa
were unpacked before the other elpa- packages (i think)
I can see dh-elpa tried to purge the old files, but presumably this
did not actualy work, although there is no error message:
dh-elpa: purging flavor specific files for emacs^M
Remove elpa-helpful for emacs^M
remove/helpful-0.19: Handling removal of emacsen flavor emacs^M
dh-elpa: purging flavor specific files for emacs^M
(i was surprised it says removing 0.19 not 0.18 but all the other elpa
packages have the new version here too.
this bit came after new emacs and dh-elpa were unpacked but before
they were 'Set up' (configured?))
Later there is some tsort issue,
Setting up elpa-helpful (0.19-2) ...^M
tsort: -: input contains a loop:^M
tsort: elpa-dash^M
tsort: emacsen-common^M
tsort: -: input contains a loop:^M
tsort: emacsen-common^M
tsort: elpa-s^M
My emacs-related packages: all would have been at the previous
bullseye point-release/security upgrade before upgrading:
emacs-gtk, emacs-el
emacs-common-non-dfsg, emacs-goodies-el, bbdb3, elpa-debian-el,
elpa-dpkg-dev-el, elpa-org, elpa-org-bullets, elpa-company,
elpa-dumb-jump, elpa-flycheck, elpa-helpful, elpa-systemd,
elpa-magit, elpa-ag, elpa-rainbow-delimiters, elpa-rich-minority
(Plus all recommends. And a couple of locally packaged variants -
which were not changed on upgrade but did use dh-elpa).
I used aptitude to upgrade to bookworm, and set anything removed to be purged.
